Chapter 145 Chapter 131 Chen's Debut

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Ali Ke's daze, Du Wei tried his best to memorize this list.For a while, I couldn't help memorizing the list of magic plants and the dosage in the formula.By the time Ailike regained his composure, Du Wei had already quietly put the formula on the extremely expensive metal test bench. Old Ailike's face was extremely ugly, his eyelids were drooping, and his proud expression just now was gone. He suddenly moved his lips, and whispered to himself: "Could it be...have I been wasting time all these years? Sigh... yes Yes! Yes! I am conceited and smart. In this field, there is no one in the entire magic union who is higher than me. Alas, it turns out that I am too conceited. No wonder those guys think nothing of my inventions. Even my disciples don’t think highly of me. Well... popularization, popularization! If the cost of inventing something is higher than the original one, then what’s the point! I’m really wasting my time!”

After finishing speaking, there was a flash of determination in Aili Ke's eyes. He shook his robe, and a green flame shot out from his sleeve, and shot at the sheepskin file on the table. In an instant, the sheepskin file was melted in the flames. For ashes.The emerald green flame was extremely strange, and the emerald green flame lingered, but only burned the parchment scroll, leaving no trace on the metal table. Seeing that old Alley was so lost, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little guilty.But what he said is actually not wrong, but the cost is naturally extremely expensive for others, but for him Du Wei, with the "time lapse" spring water that can stimulate the vitality of all living things, no matter how expensive and rare magic plants , it is easier for him to cultivate than Chinese cabbage!

However, this secret cannot be told to others. "Master Eric." Du Wei hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I don't think you need to be so disappointed. In fact, in my opinion, you are the most outstanding magic inventor I have ever met! Flying broom, And your 'Blood of Aric' is something I have never heard of before. Simply speaking, this creativity and idea is already unprecedented." "What's the use of that! Hmph! The things produced have no practical use value at all! After the blood of Arico is produced, the cost may be more than double that of Mithril! The substitute is more expensive than the original product. It’s all expensive, it’s a joke.”

"That's not what you said." Du Wei shook his head: "At least you have proposed a new way of thinking, and the new way you have proved with your actual actions is feasible! It turns out that no one has ever successfully found Something that replaces Mithril, but you found it. Even if this product is not very successful, at least it has inspired others and let everyone discover another possibility! I can guarantee that there will be more magicians studying yours in the future Invented in this way. Maybe in the near future, someone will be able to improve your formula and reduce the cost. Or simply find a new way! The greatest significance of your invention is 'proving that it is indeed possible to find something to replace the secret Silver', in this sense alone, is already a great discovery!"

Only then did Aili come back to his senses, and looked at this kid carefully from top to bottom. He felt that the little guy's words really suited his taste. He is the most admired boy I have ever met in my life. None of my stupid apprentices can compare to you. If I met you earlier, I would definitely find a way to accept you as an apprentice. In my life, nothing else It’s nothing, I just like to get some novel magic props, these things, after I die, I’m afraid no one will inherit them. Alas, it’s a pity that you are the disciple of Master Gandolf, so I can’t teach you anymore.” Du Wei rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Why can't you teach? Do you have to be my teacher to teach me? Do you have to be a teacher-student relationship to teach me?"

In the magic circle of Roland mainland, magic knowledge has always been taught privately by masters and apprentices. If you are not a disciple, you will definitely not be able to learn your own magic.It's pretty much the traditional rule.But Du Wei's words fell into the ears of the old lunatic. He was originally a weird person, and he didn't get angry when he heard it. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt. "Well! I don't teach him any magic spells. I just pass on my ability to make magic props to him. It's not a violation of the rules... Besides, I heard that the thing the chairman talked about with the royal family happened after the summer festival. There will be a result. At that time, the rules taught privately by master and apprentice will probably be broken. What else should I be afraid of?"

Thinking of this, Ali slapped his head: "Okay! As long as you are willing to learn, from today onwards, you can come to me anytime, and I will teach you how to make magic props!" The old monster cheered up again, and chatted casually with Du Wei for a while.Alley can be regarded as the leading master of making magic props in the magic guild. He has been immersed in researching various magic plants, monsters, and various magic crystal gems for more than a hundred years in his life. His cultivation in this area can be described as It is the first person in the mainland. But Du Wei is a freak. He spent so many years, doing nothing else, just sitting in the room and reading all day.As a human being in his two lives, the knowledge of his previous life, coupled with the knowledge of magic on Roland's mainland, can often collide with some wonderful sparks, and he has read a lot of books, so there is a lot of knowledge in his heart.The more the old and the younger talked about it, the more speculative it became. Every time Alley remembered that this guy was already Gandolf's apprentice, and he was his peer in terms of seniority, he couldn't accept an apprentice, so he couldn't help but beat his chest.

The two chatted for a while, and then Du Wei mentioned that his original intention of coming today was for the broomstick.Aili could not help but blushed when he heard this, and he hesitated for a long time before he sighed and explained the truth. It turned out that the broomstick, like this "Arico's Blood", was a flashy thing.The cost of that broomstick is probably more expensive than three or four wind magic circles! Under normal circumstances, such as Du Wei's flying cloak, the cost of the magic crystal used is about 20,000 gold coins.As for the broom that Old Alley got, although the crystal can be used, but... the cost is probably even more terrible!I'm afraid I can't even get out without seventy or eighty thousand gold coins!

"The broom, in fact, the key lies in the material used to make the broom. Although crystals can be used...but..." Aili took out the broom and put it on the metal test bench to explain carefully. Du Wei was originally a smart person, and he immediately understood after hearing it. Ordinary brooms are mostly made of dry branches, and this flying broom is no exception.However, in order not to use magic crystals, this "twig" is no ordinary branch! "Magic crystals are considered necessary for arranging magic circles. Because there is really no other thing that can store magic power other than crystals. However, after decades of research, I found that wood is the only one. It’s something that doesn’t reject magic power and is easy to use. It’s just that the nature of storing magic power is far worse than that of crystals. So, I thought, can wood replace crystals…”

Du Wei's heart moved, the idea of ​​this old Elric was actually the same as that big-headed genius in the wand shop... well, that guy named Seth, there are similarities in the same way but equally in the same effect! Sure enough, the old Alley continued: "I have studied magic crystals for decades, and spent countless thoughts to decompose the composition of crystals, and then I researched a result: the reason why crystals can store magic power is because there are A special composition, I call it 'magic crystal'. I used many kinds of materials to dissolve and crush the crystal many times, and finally I used a magnifying glass specially created by me that can magnify objects a thousand times. have witnessed!"

As he said that, Ailike moved out a crude instrument about half a meter high from under the metal table. Du Wei couldn't help being stunned when he saw it... This is exactly like the microscope he saw in his previous life , but it is many times bigger, and its shape is a bit weird. "I discovered that crystals can store magic power precisely because of the tiny existence of 'magic crystals'. So I thought, if magic crystals can be found in other substances, then magic crystals can be replaced." Alley laughed and said: "I have experimented with many things, but I have not experimented with other magical gemstones that are similar to crystals, because their types are similar to crystals and have no research value. I have experimented with so many things that you can't imagine, from plants From ordinary ores, and finally even the bones of monsters, I got them to experiment. Finally, I suddenly thought that plants are actually the best choice. You know, among the woods, walnuts are the best for making magic props trees, and they must be over fifty years old.” Alley laughed a little, and continued: "Later, I found out that this kind of 'magic crystal' is also found in wood. It's just that the content in wood is too small. Among the wood, the best is walnut. But the content is far lower than that of crystals by more than ten times. But I can't find any other substances, so I have to use wood as an experiment..." What Aili Ke said next opened Du Wei's eyes.He used all kinds of things to refine the seeds of walnut trees, cultivated the seedlings in various ways, and even created several mutated and weird plants.In the end, a small amount of strange minerals were produced in the texture of a kind of walnut, which is the so-called "magic crystal". "I have spent a lot of thought, but this kind of walnut seedlings specially bred by me are extremely difficult to survive! I spent several years of hard work, and most of the seedlings died, only a few remained... oh Originally, walnut trees should live for more than 50 years, but how can I wait for 50 years? As for the few remaining seedlings, I am afraid that they will wither and die within a year. Moreover, my new Although the cultivated seedlings contain some 'magic crystals', they have a fatal weakness, that is, the repeated use rate is very low! And they are extremely unstable! The magic crystals inside will break and lose their effectiveness at some point .So... the few times I started experimenting, two of my apprentices flew up with this broom, but they almost fell to their deaths!" "Fell to death?" Du Wei's eyes widened: "Your apprentices are at least intermediate magicians! Even if the broom fails, at least they can use wind magic to fly up by themselves, and they will never fall off, right? " "Huh!" Ai Like stared at him: "Those guys, they are fooling me! Ask them to help me test it, and they all push back and forth! The earliest guy, he helped me test this kind of broom, but secretly Put the broom under the crotch, and quietly cast the flying technique to fly! Hehe, you are cheating me like this!! Do you think I can’t see it! Later, before they experimented, I sealed their magic power with magic, so that They can't use magic!" Du Wei's scalp went numb! After thinking for a while, Du Wei said, "How many of those seedlings you cultivated? Can you give me one?" Aili waved his hand: "Whatever! Now my heart is cold... Well, if you hadn't reminded me, I would still be on the verge of death. These seedlings that I worked so hard to think could replace the magic crystal, but I didn't expect that these seedlings could replace the magic crystal. The energy and cost of cultivating it is much higher than that of crystals. It is really not worth the loss... If you like it, it doesn't matter if you take it all away." After finishing speaking, Aili Ke turned around and walked to a warehouse at the back. After a while, several small flower pots were brought out. There were indeed a few seedlings that seemed to be extremely "difficult" to grow, and the branches and leaves glowed with a strange feeling. The color of the metal, but judging from the half-dead appearance, it is estimated that old Alley just talked a lot. What can't survive a year!I'm afraid it would be nice to live for three months! "And this, this is the blueprint for making a broom." Aili Ke handed over a roll of sheepskin: "There is a blueprint of a miniature wind magic circle in my special facility on it. When making it, the magic circle was carved on the Just put it in the tube of the broom handle. In fact, there is nothing complicated in the craftsmanship. It’s just that this kind of plant is too precious.” Du Wei carefully put them away one by one, and carefully put those seedlings into his magic bag. Old Aili took a look at Du Wei's magic baggage, frowned and said, "Is this your space storage item? It looks too old..." But then he smiled and said: "Well, this burden is left to you by Master Gandolf, right? No wonder, Master Gandolf practiced pure magic and is not very good at making props. I will give you some Good stuff." After speaking, he turned around and took down a simple wooden box from a row of shelves on the wall. After opening it, a row of decorations were neatly placed inside.Necklaces, rings, bracelets, and more. "These are all space storage items, and the storage space inside is much larger than your magic baggage. I made them for fun when I was free. Give them all to you!" Du Wei is overjoyed!He has long felt that it is inconvenient not to have a suitable storage item around him.Although this magic bag is good, the style is too ugly after all, and it is more convenient to carry a bag with you. After all, it is not as convenient as the small items on your body. He was also not polite to the old Aili, and put the box into his arms with a smile. Old Alley had a tearful sale today.It was also because he was depressed and suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost, and seeing this kid in front of him was so pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help but make these actions.He sent out these things, and sighed: "I'm over one hundred and fifty years old, and I don't know how many years I can live. I'm afraid I won't be able to improve these researches in my life. From now on, come and find me when you have time." Me. I will pass on all these things to you one by one. Sigh..." Du Wei's expression froze, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Master Aric...I will definitely find a way to make these inventions of yours flourish!" ... The original plan to experiment with the broomstick was no longer in the mood. Du Wei was fine anyway, so he simply took this opportunity to ask Allike about magic.Alley has been soaked in knowledge for a lifetime, how profound it is, especially he is good at making magic props, and he is also the top alchemist on the mainland!How can the understanding of the properties, uses, ingredients, etc. of various magic materials be compared with the simple records in the literature that Du Wei has read? Old Aili was also interested, so he simply moved out a lot of cherished things from the warehouse, walked on the instrument one by one, decomposed, melted, heated... and so on. After the process, Du Wei can be regarded as I have gained a lot of knowledge, and more importantly, every time I teach a thing, the old Aili Ke will generously give a copy of the same thing to Du Wei to keep it back and study it slowly. In less than half a day, Du Wei's magic baggage was almost fully stored.If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of shady things in his magic baggage, he would have cleared the inventory in the baggage in front of Alico. Neither of them had lunch. In the afternoon, Elder Allike had just shown a blood called "Tuniai Tri-legged Dragon", which was used to soak weapons to strengthen the metal strength. "...This kind of three-legged dragon is actually a kind of dragon clan. But it is a hybrid offspring of the lowest dragon and other monsters. It is a low-level creature without any intelligence. But because of the blood of the dragon clan, The blood of this creature is a very good reinforcing fluid, which can make weapons, shields, and even directly smear it on people's bodies, making them more than twice as strong..." After finishing speaking, Du Wei accepted a small bottle of this red-black blood. In the end, Alley sighed, glanced at the sky outside the window, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and I have something to do to find another old monster downstairs tonight. Let's go here today!" At this moment, Du Wei is full of respect for this old Ali Ke, this guy is definitely a genius old monster.After studying with him for a day, Du Wei felt that he had learned a lot.If I can come here every day and study hard with this old monster for a period of time, it will be of great benefit to my magic cultivation... Among other things, it is just that the old monster has collected all kinds of things that people have seen all his life here. The rare treasures that can't be seen are enough to open Du Wei's eyes! Du Wei was about to leave when Old Alley suddenly asked, "By the way... I heard from the chairman that after the summer festival, you will be assessed for your magic level?" "Yes." Du Wei nodded. "Well..." Aili touched his nose, nodded and said: "That's right! As a closed disciple of Master Gandolf, how can he not have a level. It's not good to only wear a robe of a magician all the time. You always I can't embarrass Gandolf... Let me ask you, how are you preparing for the magic level assessment? Which department of magic are you majoring in?" major?Which department? Du Wei was a little stunned. Seeing the embarrassment on Du Wei's face, Old Alley frowned and said, "What about your magic power? When you helped me with the experiment in the afternoon, I could see that it could reach level five. Considering your magic power Age is already a rare genius. But the magic level assessment is not just to evaluate the level of magic power. Which department of magic are you best at?" Du Wei was really in a dilemma. Now it seems that although his magic power is good, he has very few magic spells.Although he knew quite a few great magicians.Gandalf, Vivienne, Joanna, and even Gargamel the mouse are all pretty good magicians. But there are not many magic spells that Du Wei knows.Now it seems that the most commonly used ones are still the few lowest-level superficial magic spells learned from Solskjaer's lowest-level first-level magician.For example, the fireball technique of the fire system, the lowest level of the wind blade of the wind system... Not to mention advanced magic, not even an intermediate magic! Hmm... Vivian taught herself a few powerful advanced magic spells, but with her current magic power, she absolutely couldn't cast them. As for star magic... that thing is invisible, and I haven't learned it yet. Thinking of this, Du Wei smiled wryly and said, "I seem to only know one or two low-level spells of the fire and wind elements, and I can't even talk about being good at a certain element. Oh, by the way, I can also spell a little bit of transfiguration spells." , does this count?" "What?" Aili Ke's eyes widened: "You said you... have only learned such a small amount of spells?" Du Wei smiled bitterly: "The time I have been with Mr. Gandolf is too short, and he hasn't had time to teach me anything yet." Just a few slightly advanced transfiguration spells, which were forcibly borrowed from Gargamel.However, Gargamel also abides by the rules of the magic union. Unless Du Wei worships him as a teacher, it is absolutely impossible to teach the magic spells he is good at. It is already very rare for Du Wei to apply a few low-level spells. "It seems that your situation is more complicated." Ailike pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Boy, I want to remind you of one thing. You must first clarify your ambitions. Because no matter how clever and talented a magician is, It is also impossible to be proficient in all departments of magic! Magic is profound and complex, far beyond what you can imagine. No one who can become an ordinary magician is an idiot! However, no matter how smart a person is, with a lifetime of energy, he can If you are proficient in one line of magic, you can already become a top magician on the continent! Although you are smart, you must understand the principle of being greedy and not bad! You'd better choose a major of your own and focus your energy on one Only by doing one thing can you achieve something... Sigh, it’s a pity that I can’t teach you any real spells yet. However, if you have any other problems, you can come to me anyway.” After finishing speaking, Eric opened his skirt, and took out a small pendant around his neck, which was a rhombus-shaped red crystal. "This is the key to my place. With this thing, you can enter and leave my laboratory at will. The magic circles I set up will not stop you. If you have any questions, you can also borrow my laboratory. Here You can use whatever you want." Du Wei accepted it gratefully, and then Eric waved his hand: "You go." When Du Wei walked out of the room, Aili Ke waved his hand, and a burst of cold air shot out from his sleeve, extinguishing the flame on a melting furnace that was burning on the metal table in front of him. He frowned and thought, and couldn't help talking to himself: " Strange... This kid has good magic power, but he knows too little magic. As the chairman, Yagodouge is such a smart person, why didn't he try his skills before the assessment? It was so hasty The assessment, if he fails to pass, wouldn't he lose face for Gandolf? Well, I don't know what the chairman is thinking." ... Du Wei walked out of the tower, still full of emotion in his heart.In the past, I really didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.I thought that after reading those books, I thought magic was something simple.Today, I studied with Allike for a day, and most of the things that the old monster said, let alone understood, I had never heard of them. It seems that in the future, we have to restrain our minds and study more. Just as he was thinking, a soft sound came from behind him. Du Wei turned around and saw a flame flashing through the door under the tower. It was the light of the teleportation magic circle in the tower. Then, a person came out from the tower. Du Wei was taken aback. The man looked only in his twenties.The strange thing is that in this magic union, even the sweepers wear silver magic apprentice robes.But this guy was wearing an exquisite noble dress.A luxurious gown, with rusted gold edging material, even the sleeves and neckline have wavy lace.It is the most popular style in the aristocratic circle this year. This person walked slowly, and Du Wei gradually saw his appearance clearly.This guy is in his early twenties, with a face and pale skin that nobles most yearn for. He looks slender and delicate. He has long golden hair, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes. clear.What a rare handsome man.Walking, neither fast nor slow, with a faint awe-inspiring aura, it can be seen that he has received extremely strict etiquette training since he was a child! Seeing Du Wei, the young man was startled for a while, and then a smile appeared on his face.His smile is very beautiful, such a smile, as if the earth is warm in spring, can't help but make people feel a little warm. "Ah! Your Excellency the magician in front. Ah, you are wearing the robe of a magician. Judging by your age, I guess you must be the youngest magician in the magic guild, Mr. Du Wei Luolin. Is that right?" He walked up to Du Wei, and his sapphire-like eyes showed an irresistible kindness: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen. Chen Augustine, yes My full name. Pleased to meet you, Your Excellency Duverollin." As he spoke, he nodded slightly, with an elegant posture, and even Du Wei, who was born in a wealthy family, couldn't help admiring that the other party's movements were of the same standard. Wait... Augustine? Du Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young noble in front of him: "You...are you from the royal family?" The young man named Chen Augustine smiled: "Exactly, the current emperor is my father." Prince? How could a prince appear in the inner core of the Magic Union?
